Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Can confirm.

I have no home automation stuff. My tech at home is a

disconnected from the Internet wired home security camera.

Dd-wrt on the router.

The only real techy thing I have is a pihole running a raspberry pi. Other than that my house is dumb. I despise my smart tvs because I can't control them (webos).

Kind of, but with OPNsense for the router.

My wife and I don't use smartphones but use alexa devices. Im not sure at what point convenience wins over the privacy I would want. Wish I had more time to work out better solutions. Sorta funny that in general younger folk tend to accept more than older given that older folk have less to lose. I mean the closer death is the less you need to worry much about what they are going to get off you.

Can indeed confirm. I'm the first (tech enthusiast), slowly becoming the second. My dad is the second. He upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 a few months ago. Like he knows tech, he just cbf about it. I was the first but then realized that smart home stuff is not worth it for my usecase.
